Thanks all This one is definitely underwater:- A900 and Tamron 90mm + ext tube wireless flash from left.  Tank needs a good clean, mind. These are from frogspawn laid early this year which i rescued and put indoors. They'll be released back into the pond this weekend

Nice macro shots, everyone.
Dennis, in good hands the Tamron 90mm is a very good lens. The ant shot proves to be a tertimony for that. : )
It certainly looks like, it stepped out of an alien movie.
Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing many more. : )

Some really good close ups and macros guys. The Sigma is looking very sharp too Dennis. Greg I chopped this seedpod off the Foxtail Palm before it got too big; they make a huge mess if you don't. It was quite popular with lots of creepy crawlies and greeblies, I originally went to get the camera because I spotted a small (maybe 4mm) metallic blue spider with an abdomen that bobbed up and down, but when I got back I couldn't find it. So I had to be content with a couple of the more mundane types. A700 KM100macro Attachment:

For some reason the Foxtail pod was popular with flies as well. Greg A700 KM100macro Attachment:

Very, very nice Greg - love all of those shots with the KM 100 Macro. The first mini-beast looks very strange with those enourmous antenna. (I'm sort of glad you missed the spider  .)

I have been experimenting with some MD lenses on my Nex and I got hold of a very reasonable set of MD extension tubes which has allowed me to do some close-ups (not sure this is a true 'macro' shot).  2012 Flowers - Bumble Bee in flower by Birm, on Flickr This is with Nex 5 and Minolta MD 135mm f/2.8 with 21mm extension tube. I had to resort to rocking backwards and forwards to focus and the lighting was getting dull so ISO 1600 had to be used to keep everything steady. I will be looking into focusing rails I think, with the stacking s/w recently discussed.
